MSDN Release Link Trunk Programming

NOTE: When interworking with a system that does not support the RLT feature, ensure that the associated trunk is not programmed as a Release Link Trunk. Implementing Automatic Route Selection will ensure efficient use of Release Link Trunks.

To activate the MSDN RLT feature:

Specify the type of trunk assigned the trunk service number from the RLT field. Use:

To achieve the maximum usage of DPNSS trunks that connect a particular system to the attendant system:

  1. Configure all DPNSS trunks as RLTs.

  2. From this group of DPNSS trunks, create two overlapping groups of trunks as shown in the following table:

GROUP 1
Attendant-seeking

GROUP 2
Non-attendant-seeking

  1. Program GROUP 1 to include all the RLTs available.

  2. Program GROUP 2 to include a subset of the available RLTs (7 to 12)

NOTE: In the scheme outlined in the above table, RLT 1 to RLT 6 are dedicated to only attendant-seeking calls. However, if an attendant-seeking call encounters busy from one of those RLTs and an RLT between 7 and 12 is not busy, then the call can use the available RLT to reach the attendant. The reverse is not true for non-attendant-seeking calls. If a non-attendant-seeking call encounters busy from an RLT between 7 and 12, then the call can not use an available RLT between 1 and 6.
